Do I Need a High-Mileage Oil Change?

Getting a high-mileage oil change is a great way to keep your older vehicle on the road for years to come. At Serra Honda Champaign, we recommend high-mileage oil changes after 75,000 miles, or sooner if you’ve noticed performance issues. Read on to learn more about this service.

When Should I Start Using High-Mileage Oil?

The conventional benchmark at which vehicles start to need specially designed high-mileage oil is 75,000 miles. However, modern vehicles may benefit from high-mileage oil sooner. Modern high-performance engine design makes use of tools like turbochargers to produce more force, but that means these models can build up wear more quickly. In addition, vehicles used in stress-heavy environments, like stop-and-go traffic or other city driving conditions, show wear more quickly and may need to start using high-mileage oil sooner.

What’s the Advantage of High-Mileage Oil?

High-mileage oil contains more additives designed for engines with more wear, with extra conditioners, detergents, and additives to keep them running longer. The added strength help thicken seals and reduce leaks, minimize any additional wear and tear, and improve fuel efficiency, making them great for keeping older vehicles running their best. If you have passed or are nearing the 75,000-mile mark and want to keep your car running its best for years to come, make an appointment to switch to a high-mileage oil.
